thyrocare

In this fast pacing world, what’s on stake at the most is our health. No matter how hard our efforts are, our health concerns are always being sidelined less or more. So, the motto to step ahead towards a healthy life should be ‘Prevention, Protection & Care’. Thyrocare, the name is enough when it comes to preventive healthcare labs. Recently, we, at The Style Symphony availed their services when we needed regular diagnostic testing of blood. As they say, ‘Prevention is better than cure’, so it’s indeed a smart step to get our blood tested for the prevention of those diseases that could be unavoidable if not taken proper care of. I had availed the services of thyrocare first time about 10 years back when I was suspected an imbalance in my thyroid levels. Since then, thyrocare was the synonym of the cure of thyroid problems for me. But later,…

music

“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.”— Plato The Greek philosopher and thinker Plato poured his views on music eras back, which are relevant even today. Music has a power to overpower all that is good as well as bad. Music adds to more happiness when you’re cheerful, similarly it melts the solidity of grief with its warmth and healing powers. Music has always been an inseparable part of my life whether I sing or listen to it. via GIPHY ~ Haiku ~                                                                                         ~ Haiku…

music quotient Nirvana

Down the memory lane, when I was a kid, I always dreamt of a separate music room in my dream home. Being a trained vocalist and a great music fanatic, music resides in my mind and soul and is an inseparable part of me.

That musical castle from fairy tales was indeed a dream which seem impossible in today’s brusque life. But not anymore… Thanks to Nirvana Realty for coming up with a new concept called City of Music in the arena of real estate. About Nirvana Realty!

puzzle rains

It was a clear afternoon yesterday, till we experienced the first downpour of the monsoons. I was out on a drive and it started drizzling. Suddenly, the entire view outside the car window got blurred and the glass seemed like a Croxley puzzle— hazy, complex and unsolved. Isn’t life is like that? At times, it gets incomprehensible even with subtle things or else sometimes, it’s capable of sustaining the most brusque situations. Clear glass turns puzzle Coined by Raindrops, fluttering on the windowpanes. Truth becomes baffled, Intertwined with perplexed life, A jigsaw puzzle Blurred vision makes a hazy puzzle out of cogent emotions — Sangeeta Mishra Shared with Haiku Horizons, Prompt: ‘Puzzle’ A Haiku is a Japanese poem traditionally comprising of seventeen syllables, in three lines of ‘five’, ‘seven’, and ‘five’, which evokes natural images, now a days referred to as #micropoetry.

fathers day

So much hullabaloo about fathers day! :-O Why the whole world celebrates Fathers Day for just one day? While fathers stand with us like stalwarts throughout the year providing us with all the support and help we need, still we promise to love them back for a single day in the name of fathers day. But when it came to me to celebrate fathers day today, I did it in a fun way, because I believe to respect and love him for the next 364 days of the year and make fun of him as well as the concept of fathers day for today. 😀 So, here’s how I celebrated my fathers day by replicating him only and enacting his nagging dialogues! 😛 #MyDadSays: When I was of your age, I used to take care of my whole family! And you? Your laptop hangs and you come to me “Papa…

shadi ke side effects

“Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution?”—Rightly said by Groucho Marx! No wonder a Shadi has thunderous side-effects, too much to tolerate, but still people love it! For me, it’s that starter which turns into a chilled dessert in course of time— you can neither swallow it nor spit it, rather it melts gradually in your mouth and gets digested in your systems. The beauty of an Indian Shadi is, that whether you like it or not, once you opt for it, you are bound to live with it! 18 June 1986 was the day I got married. For me, it’s been 30 years of living in an institution that has made my life a roller- coaster ride, filled with sweet yet sour experiences. Normally, I write serious stuff while blogging, but when it comes to writing about any wedding (mine too), it’s such…

hungama world water park

Come summers and everyone needs a splash to relish the seasons! So, we, at The Style Symphony decided to hop on to the water park at Bihta because when it gets hotter and hotter, hungama to banta hai. 😀 We were given family passes before hand to attend the special DJ show on either of the days, 10th, 11th or 12th June. The Hungama World Water and Amusement Park has been conceptualized by [highlight]Dreamline Hospitality Private Limited[/highlight] at Danapur-Bihata Marg, Patna. We did make it for the last day, i.e. 12th June with a wonderful drive towards the destination. The management team there was so cordial that they had already prepared lip-smacking lunch for all 4 of us. After a tiresome journey of more than an hour, what was rejoicing was the warm welcome that we got as the media guests for their shows. After a delectable lunch (Indian and…

style tips

Who doesn’t want to look gorgeous, so do I. Sometimes I think it’s too difficult to look good but if I explore the ways, I find it quite simple. Just a little tips, a few tit bits, some TLC and viola the feel good factor is all mine! So, here I share some of my tried and tested formulas which you might like as they could add oodles of goodness to your looks as well as your persona. Dying for full lips? Outline your lips with a lip-pencil and smudge the corners with a Q-tip. If your upper- lip is thinner, apply a slightly subtle shade of the same color of lipstick on it. Then cover both the lips with a gloss. If it’s that extra pout you want, emphasize the top line by spotting it with a hint of gloss in the middle of your lip. Now pucker up!…

Peacock Rangoli

[dropcap]R[/dropcap]angoli— as the name suggests is an arena of myriad colors! Normally, we associate a rangoli with Diwali, but in India it is the celebration of happiness and colors, so it could be associated with almost all festivals, celebrations and occasions. It’s a form of art that needs skillful techniques but if you have that streak of style, you can even create plethora of designs without being perfected in the art. I am not a skilled Rangoli artist but every year during Diwali, I create different designs with my imagination, dedication and a little extra time. Here are some of my self-created Rangoli designs which I made in the last few years and all of them evoke Indian tradition, color and spirit. The Lakshmi Rangoli Design I have designed a Rangoli with my interpretation of Goddess Lakshmi sitting on a pious lotus with her wide Nimbus & her auspicious Charan Padukas.…

friend

Life snatches away friends — this is one of the worst adversities of modern day. We have no time for having friends. Sadly, I don’t have any and I try to befriend with my daughters, mother, sister,…. family. But still miss those friends, with whom I used to pour my heart out, to whom I shared all my secrets, dilemmas, frustrations and melancholy. And at times, it feels no one is my confidante but my shadow. ~ Haiku ~                                                                                           ~ Haiku ~ In this scorching sun, Come my shadow, above me Be a friend in need – Sangeeta Mishra A Haiku is a Japanese poem traditionally comprising…

catharsis

Catharsis, as explained by the eminent literati and authors, is the release of emotions through witnessing art. Shakespeare made people cathartic through his plays by showing the fall or end of his mighty heroes. His protagonist (especially in his tragedies like Macbeth, Othello, Hamlet and King Lear) possesses great qualities and grandeur. In spite of all his prowess and magnificence, he falls at the end like a cascading castle of cards. His descend happens because of his fault and his remorse at the climax makes us release and purify our emotions. I feel, my share of catharsis comes from nature! I have tried to express my purgation in the form of a Haiku poem. Though the 5-7-5 syllable count restricts me to express, what’s the harm in trying something new? Hope my learned fellow bloggers and readers forgive me for the errors in my first attempt of writing this haiku…

perfumes

The Olfactory construction of NOA, the prodigious fragrance from CACHAREL, starts with WHITE PEONY, and goes on to the CORIANDER and a bed of WHITE MUSKS, TEARDROPS OF BENZOIN and THE WARMTH OF COFFEE. The fragrance speaks of femininity, wisdom, truth and hope. Make the Most of Scent  PICK a signature style, preferably a light floral and stick with it. It’s the nicest way to be identified. Layer your fragrance, with deo, talc, eau de cologne and perfume all belonging to the same family. Tuck little cotton wool balls sprayed with scent into your handbag, down your cleavage, in your lingerie drawer. Great way to smell sensuous: Try spritzing your fave scent into your freshly shampooed hair. The pulse spots to spray perfume on remain the nape of the neck, the hollow of the collarbone, at the temples, behind the ears, on the wrist, in the crook of the elbows,…

datsun redi-GO

I crash drove my car and they said “Stop it! You can’t drive it as women are bad drivers.” While learning driving, I almost destroyed ‘mere dad ki maruti’, when I was 18 and even later did the same with my husband’s car. Though I had almost learnt driving, yet everyone blamed me for those irksome accidents, which happened just because I was not able to maneuver my Maruti 800 in narrow lanes. Reason? The turning radius of the car! Also, it used to jump a lot on the damaged, uneven and bumpy roads (read the recurred speed breakers on the busy urban roads). I always condemned Maruti 800 for my being a bad driver. So, when my husband bought other cars later (Premier Padmini in 1990, Maruti Zen in 1998, Zen Estilo in 2008 and Hyundai i20 in 2012), the problems remained the same with me. I was never…
